Mid January 2011, I stayed at Novotel Bucharest City Centre.  Normally I don’t consider Accor Hotels except for their Sofitel and M Gallery luxury brands.  But this time I found a nice deal at Novotel Bucharest: they advertised their ‘Deluxe Suite’ at almost the same rate as a Standard Room.  For 102 euro per night I was offered the Eugene Ionesco Suite (‘Deluxe Suite’ on Novotel website – bellboy called it the ‘Presidential Suite’)  It had one bedroom with king-size bed, two bathrooms with massage showers, a huge Jacuzzi with tv, a living room with bar and a conference area with video conference facilities.  It also came with vip lounge access (free snacks and drinks), free Wi-Fi and access to the Wellness Centre.
